TRANSCRIPT
THE HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY
Joseph Oat Corporation (originally Joseph Oat & Sons) is the oldest
continuously operating industrial fabrication business in the United States.
Founded in the year 1788 in historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it may
have been patronized by the U.S. founding fathers on their sojourns
through narrow cobblestone streets. Started by Jesse Oat, the company
sold copper works such as kettles and utensils, competing with other crafts-
man such as Paul Revere. Son Joseph continued in his father’s
footsteps and added brass and sheet-iron work to the scope of products
offered. Exquisite copper plates and lamps became the company’s forte.
Oat also built stills, steam engine boilers, and pressure vessels for soda
water bottlers.
Ownership of Joseph Oat and Sons remained in the Oat family until
the late 1800’s, when the business was sold to their accountant. In 1966,
the business was sold to its current ownership, and the name was changed
to Joseph Oat Corporation. The business rapidly expanded and moved
from its quaint 10,000 sq. ft. Philadelphia location to its current sprawling
complex across the Delaware River in Camden, N.J.
The Joseph Oat name has always been synonymous with quality. From its
outstanding copper work of the 1700’s to the most demanding applications
today, the company retains its reputation for supplying the highest quality
equipment available anywhere in the world. Joseph Oat remains a privately
owned and operated family business to this day. This has enabled us to
provide a personal level of service with easy access to management at
all levels. While many other competitors need to please their corporate
stockholders, Oat needs only to please its customers.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
In the power industry, an effective Quality Assurance system
is a company’s most vital resource. Joseph Oat’s Quality
Assurance system has been certified for ASME Sec III
Class 1, 2, and 3 safety related equipment since 1966. It is
kept current and dynamic by continuous internal and exter-
nal audits and conformance to the current ANSI and ASME
Quality Assurance Standards, including NQA-1. Joseph Oat
is also certified to the internationally recognized standard
ISO-9001 and possesses a Chinese license.

PRESSURE VESSELS
Since 1966, Joseph Oat Corporation has manufactured ASME Sec III and Sec VIII
pressure vessels for various applications in power plants. We can assume total
design responsibility for a system, or build to customer’s design criteria. All design
and fabrication services are provided on our premises to assure total control
of the project.
We produce vessels of all sizes including units up to 20 ft. in diameter, weighing up
to 200 tons. Materials used in fabrication include all ferrous, non-ferrous, and reactive
metals. Heat treatment of heavy weldments and non-destructive testing is done on
site. Our plant location allows shipment by truck, rail or barge. Oat’s equipment can
be found in over ninety of the world’s nuclear power plants.

DESIGN & CONSULTING SERVICES
Joseph Oat Corporation’s engineering department consists of chemical and
mechanical engineers with specialized education and multidisciplinary industrial
experience in applied mechanics, heat transfer and transport phenomena. Our staff
engineers are extensively experienced in ASME boiler and pressure vessel code
design and stress analysis. The latest finite element analysis techniques are used
to qualify equipment for seismic loading, vibration, thermal fatigue and piping loads.
Our design and analysis methods utilize current commercial software packages as
well as proprietary codes developed at Oat over the past forty years. Computer-aided
design/drafting offers speed and ease with which a
drawing can be prepared and modified and allows
high-resolution and interpretation of prints for review
and fabrication.
